Hes the only male in the tank, along with 3 other females. Could anyone tell me why my male guppy is acting this way? Hes been doing it for about a day now.

If it appears he is having trouble holding himself up correctly and having a problem swimming, then you have a problem. It's possibly constipation from a very dry diet. I would suggest trying to feed him some fiber from a pea or green leafy veggies.
If that doesn't help in a day, then he may well have a swim bladder infection. If that is the casse, remove him from the tank with the other fish and treat with a good antibiotic in a separate tank. I wouls suggest Furanace or Furan-2 as the first choices for treatment. Maracyn TC would be my next choice if the others are not available.
